Geomashup not importing all locations #813

Closed TWDesigns closed 6 years ago

TWDesigns commented 6 years ago

I have a field called mappaddress and I've told geomashup to pull from this field. It works for a few but I have a lot that it's not tried to pull the data for. I get the following message.

id: 4 (0.0000000, 0.0000000) No address info found.

What would id 4 be referring to? There is no post id:4, so I'm unclear on the message. I think this is hanging me up from processing the other posts.

The 4 is a location ID, probably not important here. It just means that 0.0, 0.0 was saved as a location for something at some point, and no address was found for that point as you might expect.

Reverse geocoding means looking up address information for a known latitude and longitude. It sounds like you want regular geocoding, looking up coordinates for an address. There isn't a bulk geocoding feature, but it has been discussed a bit in #597. Geo Mashup will attempt to geocode a custom field when it is first saved, which will use the Google Server Key from the settings if available and is subject to the limits of that key.

That makes more sense! Thank you for the explanation.
